E-Merging Artist Beth Hart to Rehearse and Record New Disc Exclusively at CenterStaging CenterStaging Corp. (CNSC.ob) - Committed to the development of "E-merging" talent, rehearsals.com has announced that Independent rocker Beth Hart will record her latest work exclusively at CenterStaging and will be the first artist to be profiled on the site with an in-depth, behind-the-scenes exploration of the entire recording process. CenterStaging's foray into recording full-length albums began earlier this year with their groundbreaking debut of The New Cars' "It's Alive," which captured the remodeled, turbo-charged '80s hit makers performing live before a studio audience. But the state-of-the-art studio will go the extra mile with Beth Hart, not only documenting the polished final product of the powerhouse vocalist's new full-length album, but also providing an intimate look into the entire project from start to finish. "Beth Hart is one of the early believers of what rehearsals.com can do in showcasing talent to a worldwide fan base, said Tommy Nast, Executive Vice President, Business Development, CenterStaging. "As we believe she has one of the greatest God-given voices, we are truly ecstatic to work creatively with her and helm her new material. We want the industry to know that we will be making more recording models like this available to emerging artists!" Known for her expressive vocals, Beth Hart has worked with some of the biggest names in rock. The singer's explosive stage presence and raw emotional flair was already in evidence on her 1996 Atlantic Records debut Immortal, which featured superstar producers David Foster, Hugh Padgham and Mike Clink, and the 1999 sophomore follow-up, "Screamin' For My Supper, which contained the smash hit single "L.A. Song," a Top 5 chartbuster in the U.S. Her third album, Leave The Light On, further cemented Hart's reputation as a hard-rocking, soulful star and caught the attention of none other than guitar god Jeff Beck. The axe-slinging rock legend hand-picked Hart to appear as special guest vocalist during his sold-out U.S. Spring Tour 2006, the first time in many years that Beck brought a singer into his live band. rehearsals.com features both established and "E-merging" talent, with a current line-up that includes Grammy-nominated artists Imogen Heap (Best New Artist), Tom Petty (Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance & Best Rock Album) and the Pussycat Dolls (Best Pop Performance By A Duo Or Group With Vocal).

'SNL' rehearsals may appear on Internet LOS ANGELES, Nov. 30 (UPI) -- NBC reportedly is considering broadcasting the Friday night rehearsals of "Saturday Night Live" in New York on the Internet. NBC Universal exec George Kliavkoff revealed the online possibility Wednesday at the Digital Entertainment Media & Marketing Excellence conference in Los Angeles and added the dry runs can prove equally as entertaining as the finished product, the Hollywood Reporter said. "Sometimes it's a lot more interesting than the show," Kliavkoff said at the entertainment conference. "It's something we watch on the cameras at '30 Rock.'" The NBC chief digital officer, who came over from Major League Baseball three months ago, expanded on the promotional concept by claiming the network plans on using online resources to improve programming. "We see the Internet as our new A and R (the music industry term for talent scouting -- artists and repertory)," he added. "We're out there scouting. The good stuff bubbles up to the top."
